Tom Homan: Haitians, You Ain't Staying In Springfield, Ohio Any Longer!

The Trump border czar threatens violent removal of immigrants.

Y'all voted for this.

I anticipate economic collapse with Donald J. Trump. I anticipate violent unrest with Trump. I anticipate he will be impeached again. 

I anticipate the Republican trifecta will not last long.

The 21st Century Grover Cleveland. 

Immigrants who came to the U.S. seeking asylum will not find the Trump administration friendly towards them. I am guessing those from the Global South and Eastern Front will be denied while those who come from the West, Israel and Russia will not suffer.

Deporting immigrants will result in an economic collapse. Companies that have workers who have legal status will lose them. White people will find that hiring migrant help difficult. Migrants often pick crops, fix roofs, repair homes, fix food, clean homes and other work. 

Who is going to do it when they're gone.

The Trump Administration will try to militarize local and federal agencies to round out immigrants. They will racially profile people who aren't speaking English.

These idiots will assume Puerto Ricans are immigrants. Puerto Rico is a self autonomous U.S. territory. Those living in the territory are U.S. citizens.

They will be labeled as immigrants too.

American Samoa, another U.S. territory has residents who are U.S. nationals.

They will face hell trying to enter the U.S. as well.

The border czar is using white supremacist rhetoric. He warned that a federal program allowing people who fled dangerous countries to live and work legally in the U.S. on a temporary basis can “end tomorrow,” at which point the enrollees would be subject to deportation.

Asked about a population of roughly 15,000 Haitian immigrants in the Temporary Protected Status program who live in Springfield, Ohio, on talk radio Friday, Tom Homan emphasized that the Department of Homeland Security can end the program at the secretary’s discretion.

As border czar, Homan said he will report directly to Trump and is responsible for creating policies to “secure the border” and developing an operational plan for mass deportations. Homan oversaw Immigration and Customs Enforcement during Trump’s first administration.

Trump himself said during the campaign he’d revoke the Temporary Protected Status program for Haitians in Springfield and “bring them back to their country,” part of a broader mass deportation effort. He has chosen immigration hard liners to key jobs, including Vice President J.D. Vance, deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Both Trump and Vance shined a national spotlight on Springfield during the campaign, pushing false rumors that Haitian immigrants in the small city were stealing and eating locals’ pets. The rumormongering became a lead-in for broader criticism of how the Haitian population surged in town, putting stress on social services and schools. The rhetoric was followed by a series of bomb threats to schools, hospitals, and government buildings in the county, which local officials attributed to Trump’s high profile commentary. State officials said the threats came from outside the country.

Trump won Clark County (which includes Springfield) with 64% of the vote, a four-point gain over his past two runs.

Congress and President George H.W. Bush created the Temporary Protected Status program in 1990 to admit natives of countries hit by natural disasters or that fall into civil unrest or violence. The countries are granted the protected designation on 6- to 18-month intervals that can be renewed. As of March, about 864,000 people are enrolled from 16 countries: Afghanistan, Burma, Cameroon, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela, and Yemen, according to the Congressional Research Service.

About 200,000 come from Haiti, which gained protected status after a earthquake in 2010 killed thousands and ravaged the poor country’s infrastructure. The status was renewed under Presidents Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Trump sought to revoke Haiti’s status during his first term, but the effort was caught up in court before he lost his reelection campaign.

Homan also warned cities and their mayors that will not act on immigrants that they "better not cross that line."

Yeah.

Is he threatening violence?

Anyway, the results of white grievance and misinformation. The white people who backed Trump in high numbers. They gave him the White House despite his cognitive decline, his sexual predatory behavior, his endless hypocrisy, the fact is the first convicted felon to serve and it appears we will not learn our lesson.
